Rotator Grease

Ski mobile grease is probably great, but not easy to get in the sunbelt.

Lubriplate (also know as Lub-Rex et al) comes in a yellow or green color.
The Yellow grease
works fine between -90 centigrade and + 80 centigrade. Its better than
that but the manufacturers are conservative. It works and its not very
expensive. My first batch was a left over gallon drum from a dock...so it
works very well in liquid including salt water. It also stands up to acid
rain. So John...yes unless you run temps lower than -90C for extended periods.
You can get into space rated grease lubricant (I purchased some for UNAM for
use in UMANSAT-B) and it gets into over $100 per several oz.
